Just to throw another spanner in!It depends what you want to print.For basic text printing you could try thermal transfer using ribbons,as with the Casio CW-75.Text looks sharp and professional, and it's fine if you just want a title and track list.Just another option!Dave.

There was just a thread in the General Hangout about CD labeling software. Check out this link to a label printer. It looks great...Courtesy of Suzi Doyle...http://www.magicmouse.com

The software mewman referred to works for on disc printers as well, according to the website.

I've got a LightScribe CD drive and it seems to work fine. The drive was around $50. It is very slow, one disk can take 15 to 20 minutes to burn a label. According to the LightScribe site that is normal. Obviously not a real option for more than one or two copies at at time.
